Disconsolate
as weeping leaves
falling aimlessly
into a black sea
where light is a dry fountain
and only darkness blooms

a lonely rose
     as memories hang like
        spiderwebs in cornered
           walls
             where loneliness crawls
              recklessly
                aband­oned by love

all I know of life
is forgotten without your touch
only emptiness remains
cold flesh and hollow bones
a heart that beats no more

As night falls
I find myself covetous
of starry skies
whose eyes adorn you
eyes I wish were mine

Envious
of the shadows
curled within your light
all the dream
that lull your mind to sleep

Jealous of solitude
the silent hours that dance
admist the music of your heart
the darkness that penetrates your flesh
drowning in your every breath

breathing in your soul
all the languid arms that hold you
in peaceful slumber

And as the rain falls
I drown in thoughts of you
my heart enshrined in love's memory
curses this darkness
this need to be near you
